Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Unroll the puff pastry and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spread the cold butternut squash purée over the pastry base (do not add salt).

Thinly slice a red onion. Heat butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add the sliced onion with a pinch of salt and sauté gently. When the onion starts to become translucent, add a teaspoon of maple syrup and continue cooking until caramelized.

Spread the candied onions over the squash purée. Crumble the feta on top. Add a pinch of fleur de sel and drizzle the honey over the whole pie.

Brush the crust with the egg yolk.

Bake in a oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or hot.

Tips

To prepare the squash puree: You can easily cook butternut squash by cutting it in half lengthways and removing the filaments and seeds. For more even cooking, make cuts in the flesh and brush with a little olive oil. Bake at 395°F (200°C), face down, for 45-50 minutes, until the squash is tender.
